Tournaments organised by dissident body Asociación Amateurs de Football (established in 1919) were named "Extra" in contrast with the "Intermedia" division by official Association. When both leagues merged in 1926, Segunda División became the second level again, and División Intermedia was moved to the third level of the league system.[2] This lasted until 1932 when the Argentine Association eliminated two divisions (including División Intermedia) due to a restructuring of the system.[4]

Notes
  1. The Federación Argentina de Football (FAF) was a rival association that organized its own championships from 1912 to 1914.
  2. There was another "Club Honor y Patria" sited in Floresta, Buenos Aires and founded in 1905, that won the 1914 Primera B title although it was later defeated by San Lorenzo de Almagro by 3-0 and did not promote to Primera División. Honor y Patria from Floresta (disestablished in 1920) has been often confused with Club Honor y Patria from Bernal.[6]
  3. Merged to Club Atlético Palermo in 1920.
  4. The Asociación Amateurs de Football (Aam) was a rival association that organized its own championships from 1919 to 1926. Second division championships organised by the body were named "Extra".

gollark: I see.
gollark: Actually, what *is* it doing?
gollark: This is why I said "am switching".
gollark: I haven't switched it yet.
